TV Shows That Will Never Be Remade
| December 29, 2009 at 6:44 AM ESTBecause studios are looking to remake TV shows, I thought it wise to start a protective haven/habitat for TV shows of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s that seem vulnerable.
Shows that don’t seem in danger of being remade:
– Alf (He’s not life-like enough.)
– Small Wonder (Face it, most robots just aren’t that cool anymore.)
– Wonder Years (I can’t believe anyone would dare touch this sacred show.)
– Perfect Strangers (Is this idea stale?)
– Doogie Houser (We already get our NPH fix on HIMYM, and child prodigies are old news.)
– The Patty Duke Show (Why would people watch a show about twins when there are twins on “The Girls Next Door”.)
– The Facts of Life (America hates wholesome TV now.)
– Bewitched (The movie already bombed.)
– I Dream of Jeanie (Feminists would be pretty mad.)
– Bosom Buddies (I think this idea has been used in several movies, already. Re: White Chicks, Sorority Chicks.)
– Happy Days (No one knows how to skate and deliver milkshakes anymore.)
– Mork and Mindy
– Land of the Lost (Because it just got remade as a movie.)
– Little House on the Prairie (Kids don’t understand ‘not having cellphones’ and couldn’t relate.)
– The Love Boat (We sort of have this already in various forms of Reality TV.)
– Zorro
– Mr. Ed
– Flipper (Kids are used to talking animals via CGI!)
Shows we’d hate to see remade!
– Full House
– Family Ties
– Growing Pains
– Family Matters
– Golden Girls
– Silver Spoons
– Saved by the Bell
– Charles in Charge
– Bay Watch
– Night Court
– Who’s the Boss?
– The Mod Squad (The most recent remake was way back in the 90’s, psh.)
– Three’s Company
– Green Acres (Because people DID like “The Simple Life” for a reason.)
– Out of this World
– Murphy Brown
– Matlock
– Charles in Charge
– Laverne & Shirley
– Punky Brewster
